Steven Sotiriou holds a strong a long association with architecture from his formative exposure to study @ the University of Witwatersrand, an internship year at VHS in Rotterdam, Netherlands and an array of contextualizing “home-grown” interventions in Johannesburg: culminating in the establishment of Design Signature Architects in 2013 and its amalgamation into Urban Signature Architects in 2019.

Inspired by the capacity of architecture to influence the way we live, work and more, Steven’s approach is immersive and responsive: reflecting a conceptually strong and creative engagement with site and client.

Active involvement with students as Interdisciplinary Design lecturer lead at the University of Johannesburg has provided a parallel source of activation and motivation for Steven. Curious and intrepid in nature, Steven remains firmly grounded, accountable and explorative. A keen “twitcher in moments of recreation, Steven maintains a “birds-eye-view” of the architectural paradigm.
